What you can expect

Travel on a comfortable, high-speed 40ft catamaran and enjoy a relaxing 90‑minute whale watching cruise designed for all ages. With less travel time and more time out on the water, you’ll quickly reach the best viewing spots alongside an experienced skipper, giving you a fantastic chance to see magnificent humpback whales. Operated by an Advanced Eco‑Accredited provider and recognised as a Green Travel Leader, this experience also includes a sighting guarantee, making it great value for families and travellers alike.

Journey through the scenic Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park, where humpbacks swim and play against stunning island backdrops. Witness these majestic whales up close, and keep an eye out for dolphins, seabirds, and even Southern Fur Seals resting on the rocks at Cabbage Tree Island. This 90-minute adventure is a perfect way to connect with nature and create lasting holiday memories.
